Hello - we have been making some changes in my gelding and i love how he is running now that we switched to the left barrel first.  I, however, am struggling a bit to make the adjustment. This is the first horse i have ever taken left first.  Any advice?  I assume it takes time but i wanted to know if there are some good tips out there to let me adjust faster.

Location: In a happy place		Wanda Bush, obviously many years ago (LOL) had me switch my gelding one day and enter him the next.  For me there was never a hitch.  He ran like he had been running that way always.  I just needed to be a little more diligent in making sure if he needed a little help to keep him on the right side of the barrel for a few runs.  I really didn't need to do this much though.
Good luck.  Let us know how you are doing.

Location: SE KS		I too switched my horse from right to left. It was a conscious effort on my part to do a correct
pattern. However, I have turned the 3rd barrel on the wrong side!!! It happened, no big deal, the more
I "run" my horses the more comfortable I have become in the pattern. I run 2 horses & they will both run
to the left, because there is no way I can run one, one way n the other the other way!!!!! LOL
